Welcome to SPLASH 2015!
The ACM SIGPLAN conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity (SPLASH) is the premier conference at the intersection of programming, languages, and software engineering. Embracing all aspects of software construction and delivery, this year SPLASH includes OOPSLA, Onward!, DLS, GPCE, SLE, PLoP, and DBPL. SPLASH 2015 will take place October 25-30, 2015 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.
The conference is now over see you in Amsterdam, Netherlands for SPLASH 2016!
